FOREWCTKB 

IONG before the United States entered the war, many of 
-/ the old boys of St. George's School, true to their train- 
ing of "learning to succour the oppressed," had taken ac- 
tive part in the struggle. Ambulance and camion service 
and active service with the Lafayette Escadrille, and with 
the French, British, and Canadian armies called to them, 
and even before the middle of April, 1917, three old boys 
had died. As soon as America went into the war the St. 
George's boys answered the challenge, and soon news be- 
gan to come of the boys who had offered themselves in ever 
increasing numbers until over eighty per cent of the entire 
Alumni body was enrolled. Such a record of loyalty to duty 
deserves a permanent form, in order that future generations 
of St. George's boys may know what their older brothers 
did. 

The task of preparing such a record has been no easy 
one, but it has been one of intense interest and pleasure. 
The work of collecting the material for this book has taken 
the greater part of eight months. Too much recognition of 
their assistance cannot possibly be given to the large pro- 
portion of the men in service who replied promptly to the 
requests for information. The records of a few men have 
been hard to get. After persistent effort, however, the re- 
ports were all sent in, the results tabulated and submitted 
for correction and approval. Every care has been taken to 
make these records accurate, and, as far as possible, com- 
plete. One record is incomplete and one is missing, both 
due to inability to secure any information. Any other omis- 
sions are due to the same cause. 

This work could never have been done without the en- 
couragement and assistance of the Faculty and the Alumni. 



FOREWORD 

It is impossible to mention personally every one who has 
helped in the preparation of the book. Special appreciation 
is, however, due for assistance in writing portions of the 
book to Mr. Cabot, Mr. Nevins, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Peaslee, 
Mr. Fuller, Leonard Bacon, '05, and Bryant Prescott, '17; 
for assistance in collecting the records to L. S. Landreth, 
Jr., '10, S. LeR. French, '12, A. G. Mcllwaine, II, '14, and 
O. Prescott, Jr., '16; and for making the cover design to 
Charles Matlack Price, '05. To Miss Sheldon thanks are 
due for her untiring assistance in consulting the school files 
and in verifying data.

ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL IN THE WAR 



PFAR DATS AT THE SCHOOL 

IT is a common saying that a school is known by the 
kind of boys it graduates. It is not, however, always 
easy to characterize the graduates of a school, for, after leav- 
ing school and college, they scatter over the country, and 
render the gathering of exact data impossible. Especially 
is this true of the newer schools, whose graduates, for the 
most part, have not established themselves in business or 
the professions. The question, therefore, as to the sort of 
boys that come from this or that school must ordinarily 
wait many years for an answer. 

Great faith is required of every educator of youth. He 
watches with anxious care the halting progress of the boys 
committed to his trust, and hopes and prays that they may 
overcome the temptations of boyhood and develop into Chris- 
tian men. Often his hopes are seemingly unanswered, and 
he must wait long, patient years before his work bears fruit. 
When visible expression is given of the ideals learned at 
school, the teacher may well rejoice that his work has not 
been in vain. 

But the Great War has furnished an opportunity not 
given in ordinary times for the youth of this country to 
show their true mettle. The response to the call to serve will 
ever remain one of the glorious pages of American history. 
And nowhere has that response been more spontaneous and 
immediate than among the graduates of our preparatory 
schools and colleges. Once the opportunity of service, of 
leading others to defend their ideals of liberty, had offered 
itself, all other considerations vanished, and boys who had 
never before thought of war gave themselves a willing 
sacrifice to the cause of freedom. 

From this School alone two hundred and eighty-nine 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

former boys, or eighty per cent of the total body of alumni, 
were in some form of national war service. Of these, one 
hundred and forty-four went overseas, while the others were 
still in training or in service at home when the armistice 
was signed. Of these men fifteen will never return, and it 
is to them that the following pages are dedicated. 

These laid the -world away; poured out the red 
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to he 
Of work andjoy^ and that unhoped serene^ 
That men call age; and those tvho -would have been^ 
Their sons^ they gave^ their immortality. 

Before, however, the individual war records of the former 
boys of St. George's School are given, it may not be amiss 
to tell briefly the part the boys at School, too young to serve, 
played during the four and a half years of war. 

In September, 1914, the war looked far away to Ameri- 
can eyes, and the great questions at issue were not imme- 
diately recognized as our concern. Our country was slow 
to be aroused, not actually declaring war until the spring 
of 1917. 

In the winter of 1914 and the early months of 1915, St. 
George's School formed a Battalion of Infantry, and was 
thus one of the first private Boarding Schools to see the 
wisdom of preparing in earnest for the great conflict. The 
idea of forming this Battalion sprang from the boys them- 
selves, and service in it was from the start voluntary, re- 
maining so until 1918, when the School required all boys, 
physically fit, to take part in the drill. The first year seventy 
boys joined, and, after that, practically the whole School. 
The Battalion had the good fortune, from the beginning, to 
be trained by officers detailed to instruct it, through the 
courtesy of the Commanding Officer of Narragansett Bay 

C 4 ] 



IN THE WAR 

at Fort Adams, — a fact which accounted in large measure 
for the continuous success of the Battalion. 

The Cadets were given their first instruction by Lieu- 
tenant C. A. Phelan, U. S. A., a graduate of West Point. 
Lieutenant Phelan was able from the beginning to inspire 
the boys with respect for the colours. To his tact and skill 
in managing the boys must be attributed much of the suc- 
cess which the Battalion later won. At first the drill con- 
sisted in executing the fundamental movements and in 
mastering the first duties of a soldier. Later, after one hun- 
dred Krag rifles had been received from the Government, 
two companies, clad in khaki, were formed and the Manual 
of Arms was learned. In the autumn of 1915, T. Wal- 
lace Orr was commissioned Major. Company and Battalion 
Drill was held out of doors, and, in the spring. Extended 
Order was developed with practice marches and manoeu- 
vres in the surrounding country. Target practice was begun 
on a two hundred yard range constructed among the dunes 
on Second Beach. A short indoor range was also set up in 
the Old Gynmasium. Just before Prize Day, 1916, the Bat- 
talion was presented with a beautiful set of colours by Mrs. 
Reginald Norman. 

In 1916, Lieutenant Phelan was called away to West 
Point, and Major A. G. Clark, U. S. C. A. C, a veteran of 
the Spanish War, who had seen service in the Philippines, 
took charge of the Battalion, with T. Wallace Orr again as 
Cadet Major. Under Major Clark's strict but kindly hand- 
ling of the cadets, the efficiency of the Battalion greatly in- 
creased; but Major Clark had to leave in the spring of 1917, 
and Captain D. H. Kane, U. S. R., kindly volunteered his 
services for the rest of that year. Under him. Extended 
Order was further developed. 

At the entrance of the United States into the War, In- 

C 5 -] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

tensive Drill was begun by a special Company of older boys, 
who devoted eight hours a week to drilling. By this time, 
every boy in school who was physically able to drill was 
a member of the Battalion. 

In 1917, Captain William Sackville, U. S. C A. C, took 
charge of the Battalion with Richmond Keith Kane as the 
School Major. The Battalion had now become so proficient 
that the boys were able to take charge of it themselves in 
the absence of their Military Instructor. Close Order Drill, 
the Manual of Arms, Gallery Practice, Signalling, Bayonet 
Practice, and Extended Order continued throughout the 
winter. Competition was stimulated in different ways, and 
every opportunity was seized to develop initiative in the 
non-commissioned officers. 

At the opening of the fall term, in 1918, Captain P. E. 
Hurlburt, U. S. C. A. C, became instructor with Morris 
Duane as School Major. Several changes were made in the 
manner of appointing commissioned and non-commissioned 
officers: written examinations were required for advance- 
ment, in addition to the previous oral examinations, A small 
drum and bugle corps was organized to help the Battalion 
in Close Order work and in practice parades. A new short 
rifle range was constructed on Crocker Field, where many 
good records were made. Bayonet Drill, as taught in the 
British and American Armies, was taken up intensively, 
and a higher degree of efficiency was reached than before. 

From 1917 to the present time, setting-up exercises 
have been performed by the Battalion before breakfast out 
of doors. Only rain and snow have driven the Battalion 
under cover. 

At the signing of the Armistice, the St. George's School 
Battalion did not lay down its arms. One of the first schools 
to start drill, it was the last to abolish it. Throughout the 

I 6 3 



IJV THE WAR 

winter and spring of 1919, the regular work of the Battal- 
ion went on. Not until the final parade on Crocker Field on 
June 23 was the Battalion formally disbanded. All honour to 
the loyal and patriotic spirit of these boys who kept up their 
interest through thick and thin and, quite unperturbed at 
the action of other schools, laid down their arms only when 
the signing of the treaty of peace had become a foregone 
conclusion. That their good work was recognized by others 
than the School has been shown by the many eulogies paid 
the Battalion by those who saw it parade in Newport, on 
Decoration Day, and at the Welcome Home to Admiral 
Sims, and, also, by the high officers of the Army and Navy 
and the Governor of the State, before whom the Cadets 
passed in review on different Prize Days. 

This Mihtary Drill, extending over a period of more than 
four years, was part of the preparation of the boys at School. 
It helped keep the fires burning at home, and it enabled 
many a young graduate to claim his commission ahead of 
the boy who had had no previous drill. 

As the war advanced, and the call came from our Allies 
for ever increasing quantities of food, the School turned its 
hand to farming, and by the time our country was itself at 
war, ten acres of the School grounds were plowed up and 
planted to corn, beans, and potatoes. In the summer and 
autumn of 1917, volunteers among the boys were called 
for to work the fields and harvest the crops. Forty boys re- 
sponded to the call, and these were divided into groups, each 
group working for two weeks. The boys not only performed 
the major part of the work of caring for the farm with their 
own hands, but paid for their board and lodging at the 
School at cost. Masters, also, gladly gave their services in 
supervising the work, with Mr. Wheeler as General Super- 
intendent. The value of the crops raised was $1065 and the 

C 7 D 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

expense of operating was $899, leaving a profit of $166, 
which was presented to the Red Cross. 

The experiment was so successful, that it was repeated 
the following summer on a larger scale, although fewer boys 
were available as farmers, — a falling-off due to the demand 
of other trades on boy labor, and not to any unwillingness 
on the part of the boys to give part of their long summer 
holiday to relieving the food shortage. 

As Military Drill interfered considerably with organized 
athletics, so did the plowing up of our front lawns put a stop 
to all golf. During the winter months, it was harder for the 
boys to help their country in specific ways. In 1917 and 
1918, special classes were held in First Aid, Radio Teleg- 
raphy, and Military Map Drawing, and, throughout the 
war, lectures, often illustrated, were given by distinguished 
speakers to keep the boys better informed as to its course. 
At Christmas, 1917, over one hundred soldier's kit bags 
were made. During the afternoons, many thousand band- 
ages were rolled, and the front hall and Miss Diman's room 
were converted into temporary work-shops with rolling ma- 
chines fastened to each table, where keen rivalry went on 
to see who could roll most. 

In the meantime several Masters had left school to join 
the colours. Mr. Cyril B. Judge enlisted in the Navy in 19 17, 
and was commissioned Lieutenant in 1918 ; Mr. Norman J. 
Merrill joined the Army in the autumn of 1917, was com- 
missioned Second Lieutenant a little later, and died as a 
result of overwork at the Fort Wayne Military Hospital in 
Michigan ; Mr. Thomas R. Pennypacker joined the Navy 
in the summer of 1918, receiving his commission in the 
autumn ; Mr. Charles C. Earle, Jr., was commissioned Lieu- 
tenant in the Navy in the summer of 1918 ; Mr. William 
H. Drury also joined the Navy in 1918 as Ensign, remain-

ing away from school a full year. Mr. Diman, who had 
already resigned his position as Head Master in 1917, threw 
himself actively into Red Cross work, at first in this country 
and later in England. As it was practically impossible to 
replace all these men, the Sixth Form offered their services 
to help in teaching the younger boys. They were paid a 
certain sum per hour, and gave the money they earned, 
$400, as their contribution to the Red Cross. Thus they not 
only helped the School out of a difficulty in a great emer- 
gency, but also made a substantial contribution to the Red 
Cross. Every member of the Sixth Form took part in some 
useful work that had regularly been done by one of the 
Masters. 

For the most part, and outwardly at least, the School went 
on much as usual. There were little self-denials : sugar was 
rationed for a time, and the novel sensation was experienced 
of eating molasses or karo on cereals. The Pie-house, dur- 
ing the period of the greatest food shortage, became unfash- 
ionable, and the pennies that ordinarily went into Mrs. 
Whitman's coffers went instead to the Red Cross. 

Throughout the War, the boys responded liberally to all 
appeals for money. Thus $2850 was given tothe Y.M. C.A., 
$3046.55 to the United War Funds drive, $200 was pre- 
sented to Mme. Huard, $332 and boxes of clothing to the 
Duryea Relief, several hundred dollars were given from time 
to time to the Red Cross as proceeds from the annual School 
Flay, and contributions were made to the Belgian Children's 
Tin Box Fund. 

In addition to these and other gifts, thrift was encour- 
aged through the purchase of many thousands of dollars 
of Government Bonds, and of Thrift and War Savings 
Stamps. 

A contribution of $750 was made, chiefiy by the boys 

[ 9 3 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

themselves, to equip and send a motor ambulance to be used 
by the Norton-HarjesAmbulance Corps in France. The plate 
that was put by request on the motor has come back to the 
School and is now one of our precious possessions. It bears 
the following inscription : 

Presented by the Boys and Friends of 

St. George's School., Newport., R. /., U. S. A. 

In Memory and in Honour of its Graduates 

At the Front 

Mr. Richard Norton, who has since died, wrote, under date 
of November 1, 1917, that the motor given by St. George's 
School had been working with Section 7 for three months. 
Later, the Red Cross took over the Section and with it the 
St. George's Car. 

On perusing the following pages, and in contrast with the 
heroic sacrifices of their comrades at the front, the part the 
boys at School played seems little enough. They would gladly 
have done more, had they known how. The will was not 
lacking. In fact, it was hard to restrain the over-eager zeal 
of the older boys to give up their studies and run off to enlist 
as Ambulance Drivers or Red Cross Workers. The follow- 
ing example shows the spirit that animated them all. The boy 
in question was only eighteen years old, but so determined 
was he to reach the Front that, hardly waiting to receive his 
Diploma and unknown to his family, he succeeded in board- 
ing a transport and arrived in France only to find that, on 
account of his youth, he could not be accepted in any branch 
of the American service. He therefore enlisted as an Ambu- 
lance Driver in the Wynne-Bevan Ambulance Corps then 
operating in Italy. His heart's desire was fulfilled. In a few 
weeks after leaving here, he was hurrying to the rescue of 

the victims of bombs dropped from a hostile airplane on the 

r 
L 



r lo ] 



IJV THE WAR 

little town of Mestre in Italy. He and his comrade arrived 
while the bombs were still falling, and they were both killed 
together as they were in the very act of succouring the 
wounded. Richard Cutts Fairfield was the first and youngest 
American soldier in Italy to give his life in the Great War. 
The Italian Government was prompt to recognize this un- 
usual act of heroism by conferring on him posthumously the 
silver medal of valour. 

No account of the part the School played in the War 
would be complete without mentioning the Memorial Build- 
ing which is to be raised to the everlasting honour of 
these boys who fought and died that Freedom might en- 
dure. 

Soon after the Armistice was signed, a Memorial Fund 
was started by the friends, parents, and alumni of the School 
to erect a memorial building to these boys — a monument 
that should forever recall their service in the war. It was 
decided that this building should take the form of a school- 
house. As this was the place where the life of the School 
centred, and where all the boys gathered morning, noon, 
and night, they would thus be ever reminded anew of the 
part their older brothers played in this their country's hour 
of need, and would derive constant inspiration from daily 
assembling within these w^alls. 

The frontispiece of this book shows the plan of the Me- 
morial School House. It was drawn by Messrs. McKim, 
Mead and White, and will stand facing the north play fields 
where the Squash Courts now are. On the south side of the 
building will be a spacious Memorial Vestibule containing 
the memorial tablets. Here, too, will be hung the Roll of 
Honour, beaudfully illuminated on parchment, designed and 
executed by Miss Violet Oakley, and presented to the School 
by Dr. George Woodward. On the walls of this vestibule

THE SIXTEEN DEAD 

GARDNER HENRY FULLER 

GARDNER Henry Fuller, son of Rev. Wilfrid Fuller of 
St. Chad's Rectory, Lichfield, England, and grandson 
of Mrs. Gardner B. Perry of Newport, was one of the St. 
George's Scholars from 1903 to 1907. He then ceased to 
take what was becoming an annual voyage across the At- 
lantic each way, and he entered the grammar school near 
his home in England. In 191 1, after the death of his grand- 
mother, he commenced preparation for fulfilling his desire 
of entering the British army, going to study with tutors, 
first in Kent and then at Southsea. He passed into the Royal 
MiHtary College at Sandhurst early in 1912, when he was 
only nineteen years of age. There he obtained good marks for 
his work, and for gymnastic skill he was chosen with two 
other cadets to represent the College in a tournament against 
the Military Academy at Woolwich. He took, in passing out, 
a place sufiiciently high to enable him to enter the Army Ser- 
vice Corps in 1913; and therein he served at Woolwich, 
Aldershot, and Portsmouth. Thence he went to France in 
the first month of the war, and was one of the officers of the 
9th Brigade Divisional Train, charged with the duty of 
supplying that brigade with all necessaries. 

His first experience was the retreat from Mons. In this, 
as was the case with many others, he had exciting adven- 
tures. "At one place," he records, "we were nearly forgotten. 
The Colonel moved without orders just as the German shells 
began bursting in our rear. We were then on the flank, and 
for some time were within three miles of a large force of 
German Cavalry, though none of us except the Colonel knew 

C IS ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

anything about it. We learned afterwards that we were 
within an ace of being captured and were reported as lost." 
The military work of this soldier, although it may not 
provide so heroic a story as that of one in the front line of 
fire, was of peculiar difficulty and hazard for these reasons. 
All the soldiers in those early weeks of the war were fight- 
ing up and down in open country, and these rapid move- 
ments gave the A. S. C. officers much difficulty in carrying 
out the delivery of supplies, as well during the retreat from 
Mons as in the advance to the Aisne, and also in the early 
battle around the Ypres salient This young officer served 
in all these fields of battle, and was often in sole command 
of the men, horses, and \vagons forming the supply section 
for about five thousand troops, who looked to him for their 
food. Only once, it is noted in his journal, did he fail to bring 
to them their "daily bread," and this was because of a sud- 
den advance they had been called upon to make whilst he 
had been misled as to his road in a strange district and on 
a dark night. We can understand the difficulties of transport 
work in the early weeks of the war. Horses and wagons 
can move only at a moderate pace, and there are many diffi- 
culties in turning them if a wrong road has been taken, 
which may easily happen in finding troops during their un- 
certain movements in battle. The roads were often narrow 
and flanked by a deep ditch, sometimes ending in a "cul- 
de-sac," and then might arise the great difficulty of run- 
ning down each member of the train. At times perils from 
enemy aeroplanes overhead were so great that the train 
could move only at night, as in the day it had to be hidden 
from sight. As for actual fighting, the men of the A. S. C. 
were not properly trained as riflemen, the rule being to pro- 
vide other protection for this section of men and supplies. 
But the journal of this soldier records that a party of Ger- 

c 16 : 




J::/A7crc/n^.f~^ytefvrt-/ ^^iM^ 



IJV THE TFAR 

mans emerging from a wood to seize what appeared to be 
undefended booty were scattered by the mere pointing of 
rifles. 

These experiences, however, endured through the cold 
and wet season in the late autumn of 1914 in France, began 
to tell upon this soldier. For, as those who knew him in his 
school days could testify, he was not of a robust constitu- 
tion. It is not known if the disease from which he died was 
contracted in France or later in England, where it was at 
that time prevalent. Fuller was invalided first to Osborne 
in the Isle of Wight, and then to his home in the month 
of December. After a rest and treatment he resumed duties 
at the end of January at Woolwich. Throughout the fol- 
lowing month he could not have been well, though no seri- 
ous complaint was made by him. At his own request he was 
placed in command of about two hundred men to conduct 
them from their depot to Matlock in Derbyshire. He must 
have suffered greatly, for, the journey ended, he was stricken 
at the hotel with what was found to be a malignant disease, 
and in two days passed from his earthly warfare. His father, 
who has prepared this record, expresses his gratitude to the 
friends his son made in St. George's School for their kind- 
ness to him and for their remembrance of him.

HAROLD CHANDLER KIMBALL 

MANY of the older graduates will remember Harold 
Kimball as associated with a national holiday, for, 
with characteristic generosity, he always shared with the 
whole school the gifts which came for his birthday celebra- 
tion on February twenty-second. All M^ho knew him were 
not surprised to learn that he enlisted early in the defence 
of freedom and gave his all with the quiet courage which 
makes the name of Arras a proud memory for all of English 
blood. 

Born in Rochester, N. Y., in 1891, Kimball entered St. 
George's in 1903, and graduated in 1907. The year follow- 
ing his graduation from St. George's he spent at the Uni- 
versity of Rochester, from which he entered Harvard as a 
member of the class of 1912. He left college before receiving 
his degree and went into business with the Ingee Machine 
Company of Rochester. After his marriage to Miss Irene 
Agnew in London, England, in June, 1914, he took up rail- 
roading at Los Angeles, Cal. Soon the appeal of the war 
reached him, and he enlisted at Montreal, P. Q., on April 5, 
1916, with the 178th Battalion of Canadian Infantry. On 
August 11 of the same year he was transferred to the 117th 
Battalion, which proceeded overseas three days later. Another 
transfer came in December, 1916, when he joined the 24th 
Battalion, with which he fought during the terrific cam- 
paign following. He was killed in action at the taking of 
Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917. 

A very striking feature of the war has been the large 
number of men of quiet disposition and retiring nature, 
as far as most people observed them, who volunteered early 
for the most dangerous service. That Harold Kimball was 
among these was not surprising. The quiet persistence and

first-class mind which characterized him at St. George's 
united to make him seek service w^here it was hardest and 
where danger was greatest. It is a matter of regret that we 
have so few details of his mihtary service, but the fact of 
his enlistment over a year before our country declared war 
and the knowledge he must have had of the terrific casual- 
ties of so many Canadian regiments are witness to a spirit 
of quiet resolve to serve, no matter what the cost. Perhaps he 
heard at Vimy Ridge the cry which has rung in the ears 
of so many a soldier in Flanders : 

Once more into the breach^ dear friends^ once more; 

Or close the -wall up -with our English dead! 

In peace^ there '5 nothing so becomes a man 

As modest stillness and humility 

But when the blast of rvar bloivs in our ears^ 

Be copy now to men of grosser blood 
And teach them ho-w to -war! 

The many graduates who served their country so fully and 
gladly when the call of duty came must feel especial pride as 
they think of those who, like Harold Kimball, had "taught 
them how to war."

RONALD WOOD HOSKIER 

THE United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 
1917. Before America went into the war, we watched 
the struggle from a distance, helped in some degree to allevi- 
ate the misery and sorrow, and tried to understand w hat the 
agony and suffering meant — what it meant for the people of 
England, France, and Belgium to send forth their clean and 
strong young men only to have them perish in the conflict. 
A few days later, on April 23, came our own St. George's 
Day, a day beloved by every St. George's boy. Henceforth 
St. George's Day will have a deeper meaning for all of us, 
for on that day we first began to understand the sorrows of 
the war, when we at school learned that a St. George's boy 
who had "kept himself unspotted from the world and learned 
to succour the oppressed" had died for a mighty cause. 

Ronald Wood Hoskier was born on March 21, 1896, in 
South Orange, N. J., the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Hos- 
kier. He entered St. George's in September, 1909, with the 
class of 1914. During his career of four years at St. George's 
he occupied a very prominent place in the school life. Quiet, 
reserved, a creditable athlete and a brilliant student, he stands 
out in the memories of the School as a noble boy and a loyal 
friend. 

Ronald left school at the end of his Third Form and spent 
a year with his family in Europe of which five months were 
passed in Rome. An incident which happened during that 
year shows his devotion to the School. He was an enthusi- 
astic mountain chmber,and during the year he climbed sev- 
eral peaks in the Alps. While he was climbing the Aiguilles 
Rouges near Chamonix the guide suggested doing a vir- 
gin peak. The attempt succeeded, and Ronald had the priv- 
ilege of giving the peak a name. The guides suggested that 

C 2o ;] 



IJV THE WAR 

he call the peak after himself. But he would have none of 
it, and the name which the peak now bears is "Pic St. 
Georges." The love of nature and of the outdoor world was 
strong in Ronald, and the memories of the months spent 
among the Alps gave colour to many of the stories and 
poems which he afterwards wrote for the Dragon. 

Ronald returned to school in 1912, and there followed 
two years of physical, mental, and moral growth. During 
those years the school was better for his presence, and dur- 
ing those years, too, friendships were formed which even 
death cannot change. The last year was the best and full- 
est, and Ronald had a chance as Editor-in-Chief of the 
Dragon and as a Prefect to leave behind him a never-end- 
ing influence on the School. 

Immediately after graduation Ronald sailed for Europe, 
and almost at once came the war, and the question at once 
arose as to what he ought to do. Training, inheritance, and 
desire all urged him to go in at once. A hard period of 
questionings and doubts ended in his decision to return to 
America in September, 1914, and to enter Harvard with the 
class of 1918. It was a hard time, and there was no doubt 
as to what his final decision would be. To stay safely at 
home while justice, truth, and right were at stake, and Eng- 
land and France were fighting for their existence, was im- 
possible for him. Fortunately for us all, the decision was 
put off for a year and a half, and during that time he had 
a chance to make as strong a place for himself at Harvard 
as he had previously made at School. He took up fencing 
and was on the Harvard team. It was a period, also, of 
greater development in every way, and our hopes for a big 
and noble future became a certainty. [The university has 
since awarded him his B.A., '"''qui studiis relictis pro Patriae 
libertate mortem oppetiit.''''^ 

C 21 1 



ST. GE OBOE'S SCHOOL 

During the winter of his Sophomore year the decision 
was made, and in February, 1916, Ronald gave up every- 
thing and sailed for France, to do his part in the mighty 
struggle. He enlisted at once in the Lafayette Escadrille, 
and began his period of training at Dijon on May 10. The 
record of his last year may best be given here in the words 
of his father. 

" He never had an accident during his training, and was 
a most careful and successful pilot. He led his class every- 
where by ten to fourteen days, and then had to wait for the 
rest to finish, a most trying situation to be thus held back. 
His father and mother spent his twenty-first birthday with 
him, March 21, 1917, at Ravenel near St. Just-en-Chaus- 
see, just before the Escadrille moved forward to quarters at 
Ham. His mother last saw him alive on 20th April, 1917, 
when he came to Paris on a mission, and flew a new ma- 
chine back from Le Bourget to Ham. He had a presenti- 
ment on the 21st of March that the end could not be far 
off" if he did his whole duty, and he gave his father certain 
instructions at their meeting on that date, in case of his 
death. Ronald by his example was, let us hope, a beacon to 
some of his associates, and it was touching to see those to 
whom he had lent money striving to make amends by set- 
ting everything in order concerning the place of sepulture 
at their expense. Speaking of money, his father wishes to 
state that notwithstanding the poor food in the French mess, 
the expense necessary to supplement this, and all other 
incidental expenses, he managed to save half of the small 
allowance which he received of 500 francs a month, and 
this in the face of every possible temptation to spend and to 
gamble. So wide-reaching can be the example in the world 
of a St. George's boy. 

" One touching incident must be recorded. Before sailing 

C 29 ^ 



IJV THE WAR 

in February, 1916, he went through the old home, then 
closed and very cold (it had been shut up since June, 1914). 
He had his hat on, but before entering his mother's room he 
uncovered himself as if entering a church or moving on to 
holy ground. The old attendant who accompanied him pro- 
tested, but he waived her aside, 'I could not think of en- 
tering Mother's room with my hat on.' 

"When he flew to his death on 23rd April, 1917, he was 
out for the last time on an unsatisfactory machine, a Mo- 
rane Parasol two-seater. It was not strong enough for scout- 
ing and manoeuvring, and was to be abandoned. He who 
always prided himself on keeping in touch with his fellow- 
scouts got separated in some thick, white^ woolly clouds, 
an ideal condition for the grouped and waiting Boches, 
and found himself in presence of three enemy machines. 
He circled once, but finding no friends, attacked the three 
Boches. Something went wrong, we don't know what : per- 
haps a cable was shattered ; perhaps he was struck in the 
head at once ; at any rate, his own machine gun belt had 
been emptied and that of his mitrailleur nearly so. The ma- 
chine fell from 8000 feet just inside the French lines. The 
bodies were recovered only at nightfall by the usual devo- 
tion of his fellow^-members, as the enemy bombarded the 
spot all day. They are buried at Ham. 

"The name of his mitrailleur deserves to go on record 
here. It is Jean Dressy, born near Montbrison, of humble 
parents, in 1889, and therefore then in his 28th year. He 
was a practising, earnest Christian, a devoted fellow, who 
had in the early days of the war rescued under fire his 
wounded officer. Lieutenant de Laage de Meux. Lieutenant 
de Laage de Meux was the second in command, and Mrs. 
Hoskier says she will never forget his courtesy and the look 
of unutterable sympathy and grief on his face as he met Ron-

aid's parents at Compiegne on 25th April, to drive to Ham 
for that saddest of all days for them, when they laid Ronald 
to rest, — that gallant Christian gentleman, M'ho had never 
caused them one moment's care or anxiety during his 
twenty-one years on earth. He lay in his poor, thin, pine 
coffin, dressed as he fell, the features not too much marred, 
a type of those devoted heroes of whom 'the world was 
not worthy,' and who were falling daily in order that the 
Boche's fell purpose might be foiled. Alas, Lieutenant de 
La age also fell soon after, and is buried seven graves fur- 
ther on in line with Ronald's tomb, where he stood as a 
mourner just three weeks previously. Another Christian 
gentleman and soldier, grave beyond his years. 

"Ronald fell on St. George's Day. He could not do more. 
It was fate. Graduated on the 13th day of June, 1914, bre- 
veted on the 13th day of August, 1916, and joining the Es- 
cadrille on the 13th day of December, 1916, there seems to 
have been a fateful irony in these dates ; and he passed 
away on the 23rd of April, 1917, at high noon." 

It is fitting, in closing this all too imperfect tribute, to 
quote two passages — one froin the funeral oration pro- 
nounced by Captain Thenault, Commanding Officer of the 
Escadrille, "C'etait une nature droite, une ^me intelligente, 
eprise d'ideal et de beaute" — the other from the citation of 
General Franchet d'Esperey, when conferring the Croix de 
Guerre with palm: "Citoyen Americain, engage au service 
de la France. Veritable &me d'elite pour sa bravoure et son 
esprit de sacrifice. Est tombe le 23 Avril, apres une heroique 
defense, dans un combat contre trois appareils ennemis."

Madame, Messieurs, Les deuils se suivent avec rapidite, et a quelques 
jours de distance nous voila reunis de nouveau aupres de ces tombes. Le 
coup qui vient de nous frapper est particulierement cruel. Avant hier, 
dans la lutte sans tr^ve contre I'ennemi implacable, sent tombes le cava- 
lier Dressy et le sergent Hoskier. 

Le Sergent Ronald Hoskier, ne a South Orange New Jersey, etait age 
de 21 ans. Eleve par sa famille dans de saines traditions, c'etait une 
nature droite, une ame intelligente, eprise d'ideal et de beaute. II vene- 
rait sa Mere, devant la douleur de qui nous nous inclinons respectueuse- 
ment et qui, soyez en sure, Madame, est son seul regret. 

II devait aimer la Justice, la Liberte, la France assaillie par les barbares, 
et, libre Enfant d'un Pays encore neutre mais dont les sentiments com- 
mengaient a fremir, I'annee derniere il s'engageait sous nos Drapeaux. 
II suivait I'exemple de son pere, venu malgre son age apporter son con- 
cours actif au corjjs des ambulanciers americains et que Verdun vit sous 
ses mui^ au coure de la ruee terrible. 

Hoskier avait de qui tenir et bien souvent il nous le montra. 

Pilote adroit et intrepide, il fit ses premieres armes sur la Somme. II 
fut vite confirme et ses premieres batailles furent des succes. II rapportait 
de plus des renseignements interessants, dont le commandementadmirait 
la precision et le bon sens, et qui furent tr^s goutfe pendant la derniere

Avant hier il sortait avec son camarade Dressy. Le pilote savait ce que 
valait le mitrailleur, et le mitrailleur savait que le pilote I'emm^nerait 
droit au combat. lis volaient avec deuxcamarades, quand ils rencontrerent 
une force superieure. Fuir eut peut-etre et6 prudent, mais des soldats 
comme Hoskier a I'ame ardente, peuvent-ils une seconde penser §. fuir ! 

lis se lancerent dans la melee, les mitrailleuses crepiterent, chantant 
leur cruelle et rageuse chanson, et, pendant que des camarades retenaient 
deux adversaires, on vit la machine d' Hoskier en prise avec trois autres, 
atteinte dans un de ses cables essentiels, tourbillonner et venir s'abattre 
dans nos lignes, un peu au Sud de Saint-Quentin. On releva pieusement les 
corps du Fi-angais et de I'Americain unisj usque dans la mort, et mieux 
que tous les mots du monde, de tels faits symbolisent 1' union des Deux

HENRY BREWSTER PALMER 

God give us bases to guard or beleaguer. 
Games to filay out, whether earnest or fun. 

Fights for the fearless, and goals for the eager, 
Twenty, and thirty, and forty years on. 

EKING back to the years when Henry Palmer was at St. 
George's, everyone who knew him here will see vividly 
the small but agile figure of a boy battling calmly and suc- 
cessfully for his school on the athletic field. Quiet determi- 
nation and unruffled control made him a rock of strength 
to his fellows then and prepared him well for final victory 
on a greater field. So much of the school's early athletic his- 
tory is bound up in his name that a picture of him always 
includes the easy swing with which he gathered in hard- 
hit balls as shortstop or, as a quarterback, directed the foot- 
ball team in many a contest. "When you look back, and for- 
getfully wonder what you were like in your work and your 
play" might apply to Henry as he thought of his school- 
boy days, but not to his mates and other friends. They 
caught even then some glimpse of the man who quietly 
volunteered for service wherever needed. Strangers may 
wonder whose is the face that appears on so many team 
pictures in the Old School and whose name is on so many 
tablets in Auchincloss, but old masters and boys will think 
of the man who came to rest after a glorious career as a 
soldier because he here had shown in early days that he 
knew how to fight. 

Henry Brewster Palmer was born in Rochester, N. Y., 
December 25, 1887. After attending the Lewis School and 
Bradstreets' Preparatory School, he entered St. George's in 
the fall of 1903. During the three years up to his gradua- 
tion in 1906 Henry did creditable work as a student and 

C 27 ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

starred as an athlete. His all round ability made him a 
member of teams representing the school in football, base- 
ball, tennis, and hockey. At Harvard he also played on his 
Freshman and on the Harvard Second baseball teams. As 
an agreeable companion and friend he was recognized 
through his election to several clubs, such as the Harvard 
Polo, D. K. K, Hasty Pudding, and Delphic Clubs. He grad- 
uated from Harvard in 1910 and, after six months of travel 
abroad, entered the bond business in New York City. In 
1912 he took up the bond business in San Francisco, but 
returned to New York two years later. The appeal of ser- 
vice in the War proved irresistible to him in 1916, so that 
on June 25 of that year he entered the American Ambulance 
Service in France for a period of seven months ; on the com- 
pletion of this period he re-enlisted for six months. With 
Section 3 of the American Ambulance he was transferred 
on October 1, 1916, to Greece, where he drove the Harvard 
1910 class ambulance. The short military account given in 
the following extract from a diploma of the French Gov- 
ernment tells a story of which the details must have meant 
much of courage and devotion : 

"Well before the entrance of the United States into the 
War, he was of the campaign in Lorraine, Verdun, and with 
the Army of the Orient, serving as ambulance driver in 
American Sanitary Section, No. 3. He has been cited to the 
Order of the Brigade by the General Commander-in-Chief 
of the Allied Armies in the Orient." He was awarded the 
Croix de Guerre for courageous action in removing wounded 
in the region of Monastir between October, 1916, and De- 
cember, 1916. 

So soon as he could enter a fighting branch of war ser- 
vice, he joined the French Aviation Service on June 7, 1917. 
Having completed his training, he received his military bre-

IJV THE WAR 

vet September 30, 19 17, as a member of the Lafayette Esca- 
drille. Henry's service as aviator was short, however, for he 
was taken ill with pneumonia and died on November 12, 
1917. He was buried at Pau, France, with the highest mili- 
tary honours. 

A letter accompanying the award of a decoration by the 
French Ministry of War to Henry Palmer tells the story 
effectively : 

"Through my suggestion the President of Air War Min- 
istry has decided to bestow a decoration upon the four high 
officers and the 214 pilots of the Lafayette Flying Corps, 
who in the name of their people fought so gallantly in the 
French lines and took such a wonderful part in our perils 
and our glories. This token consists of a blue ribbon adorned 
with stars bordered with the French and American colors 
in relief of a Sioux head in silver which the first Lafayette 
Escadrille carried so gloriously over our battlefield. 

"It gives me the greatest pleasure to present you with this 
decoration of honor which shall bear witness of the high 
esteem of the aviation corps and the French nation whom 
vou have served so well." 



C 29 ] 



WILLIAM SMITH ELY 

WILLIAM Smith Ely, the fifth St. George's boy to die 
in the war, was killed in England on January 2, 
1918, while in training for the aviation service. 

Ely was born in Rochester, N. Y., on November 18, 1895, 
the only child of Dr. and Mrs. William S. Ely. In Septem- 
ber, 1909, he entered St. George's School in the Third Form, 
and after four years graduated in 1913. Wilham was a 
quiet, reserved boy, not taking a prominent part in athletics, 
but standing high in his scholastic work. He took many 
honours on Prize Days, receiving, while he was at St. 
George's, prizes in Mathematics, Latin, and Greek, and in 
his Fifth Form year winning the Binney Cup for the high- 
est scholarship in the Fifth and Sixth Forms. The books 
presented to him have since been given to the School by his 
mother, and now occupy an honoured place in the Library. 
He was deeply respected by the facult}^ and beloved by his 
many warm friends, particularly in his own form. 

After leaving school Ely entered Harvard, graduating in 
three years, but maintaining his connection with the Class 
of 1917. While in college he was very popular with a large 
group of friends, among them his own classmates from 
school. During his first year at college he rowed on the 
Freshman crew which defeated Yale, but he was prevented 
by an injury from continuing what promised to be a bril- 
liant career as an oarsman. While at Harvard he was a 
member of the Dickey, the Iroquois, the Spee, and the 
Hasty Pudding Clubs. 

Ely had intended to follow his father's profession and 
had planned to enter the Harvard Medical School, but, 
upon the entrance of the United States into the war, he 
gave up his plans and enlisted in the aviation corps. He 

[so 3 




66^^^4«?3^^/t/ Q^/^*/i^4/ (3w 



IJV THE WAR 

was at once ordered to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- 
nology Ground School, where he remained until July, 1917. 
Upon completing his course there he was ordered to pro- 
ceed to Europe for further instruction, and sailed from New 
York on July 21, 1917. 

Letters from France were very strictly censored, and 
unfortunately little is known of the details of his work 
and training in Europe. In a letter written to his mother he 
gives a short account of his work as follows: 

"Our mail service is decidedly lame — I got no letters at all 
from you for over two weeks and then got four in a bunch. 

"Of course I couldn't tell you where we were when I 
wrote you those letters en route, but I suppose there is no 
harm now in saying that we were waiting off Halifax. It 
was there we had the boat races between the aviators and 
the engineers. Naturally we got no official reason for our 
hold up, which lasted five days, but we were probably 
waiting for our escort of destroyers. At any rate, when we 
were two days out we were met by six long low rakish 
destroyers, which appeared suddenly over the rim of the 
ocean and convoyed our five ships safely to port on this side. 

"Ten of us have been on duty at headquarters in Paris. 
We have to work very hard, but that is what we are here 
for and the work is very interesting. When we do have any 
time to ourselves we usually go sightseeing. I do not re- 
member much of what I saw when I was here before, — too 
young, I suppose, but now and then I find a familiar object. 

"Just now I am at the above 'somewhere' on a motor 
trip through southern France, — on business of course. I 
am with Lieut. Thaw, U. S. A., brother of the famous avi- 
ator, William Thaw. We have a staff car with a spread 
eagle on it and a military chauffeur who always drives at 
seventy or eighty miles an hour. . . . 

C 31 ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

"We are evidently some of the first American soldiers 
to appear in this part of France, and we are the cause of 
great excitement wherever we go. Crowds gather around to 
watch us, and it is a bit thrilling but also quite touching 
to see what confidence and hope the peasants and the people 
in these little French towns have in America. We often 
hear the women calling their children to come and see the 
'Americans who have come to save France.' 

"I little thought that I should ever be paid to take an 
automobile trip through the most beautiful part of France. 
But though it may sound like a pleasure trip, we are work- 
ing very hard. Three days last week we worked from half 
past six in the morning until after one the next morning, 
and, though to-day is Sunday, hard labor is the rule just 
the same. 

"I had my first real flight a few days ago, and the sen- 
sation is wonderful. You have no feeling of danger at all 
and no sense of forward motion until you look at the ground 
and see how fast you are moving. The pilot who took me 
up is one of the most expert in France and he did all sorts 
of stunts in the air. We have visited all the flying schools 
in this part of the country and have studied the methods 
of instruction. We have met a good many French officers, — 
bully chaps they are, too. Every one is heartily sick of the 
war, and small blame to them, but we are impressed with 
their grim determination to stick it out until they 'beat the 
Boche.' "... 

Soon after his arrival in France he was stationed, as we 
see by the letter, at Aviation Headquarters in Paris, and he 
received his commission as First Lieutenant in September, 
1917. Later he was sent to England for special training to 
become a leader of a squadron. In England he was stationed 
at Northolt and at Port Meadow, Oxford. 

C 32 3 



IJV THE WAR 

On the afternoon of January 2, after he had finished his 
day's work, Ely was invited to go up as a passenger with an 
English instructor, a pilot who was considered an expert 
flyer. What happened is not known exactly, but the report 
of the inquest states that "by an error of judgment the 
pilot stalled the engine in turning when about three hun- 
dred feet in the air." The machine crashed to the ground 
and both pilot and passenger were instantly killed. They 
are buried in Oxford. 

Death while fighting in a mighty charge is a glorious 
thing. The splendour of the achievement and the greatness 
of character and purpose of the man give to sorrow a for- 
getfulness of self which softens grief and leads the mind to 
a new and higher sense of proportions and values. The 
tragedy of sorrow is more keenly felt when a man, fit and 
ready for a large part in the struggle, meets his death by 
deplorable accident. But the character and purpose are the 
same, and the man who is denied the larger action deserves 
equal honour and even greater tenderness.

RICHARD CUTTS FAIRFIELD 

DURING the war and after, we have spoken with reverence 
of the dead, the honoured dead, that silent army whose 
service on this earth is complete and perfect in their supreme 
sacrifice. We have spoken and thought of them, but their 
numbers have defied true comprehension of their loss. It is 
only when one we know is swept away in the maelstrom that 
understanding rushes over us. Then we must accept the 
after life as a fact or "go sorrowing all our days." Especially 
are we impressed with the certainty of survival when one in 
the full vigour of youth suddenly vanishes from among us. 
Those who knew Dick Fairfield, I am sure, can only think 
of him as alive and happy somewhere. 

Richard Cutts Fairfield was born February 20, 1899. 
When he entered the Third Form at St.George's he was four- 
teen. In a very few weeks he must have known every fellow 
in school, and in that time he had become universally liked. 
Dick could get on with anybody, for he had an inexhaustible 
supply of good nature and was always full of fun. His many 
activities during the four years at school show his versa- 
tility. Athletics he found more interesting than studies, but 
he kept up in his work. In foot-ball and basket-ball he played 
on the club teams, agility making up for a rather slight build. 
His tennis placed him on the team in 1914 and made him 
captain in 1916. On the ice he was a good hockey player. 
His interest and ability in military drill earned him the rank 
of lieutenant. During three out of his four years he sang in 
the choir. Studies must have sometimes seemed to him very 
dry, for he found constant application no easy task. That he 
passed examinations for college and before graduating won 
a prize in Greek is the proof of real progress in academic

IJV THE WAR 

These things the records show. Yet there is much that is 
only written on the book of hfe. The real strife, the fight to 
master individual faults, which each one of us must sustain 
alone, of that we can only gather faint intimations. Dick had 
the faults which an impetuous nature shows in youth, rest- 
lessness and occasional misdirected effort. But his insatiable 
desire to be doing things was the sign that he possessed that 
energy which, when coupled with the right education, al- 
ways finds the path to achievement. 

The years slipped silently by until graduation was at hand. 
Impending separation awakens us to a sudden valuation of 
the friendship we have formerly taken for granted. Dick's 
sunny smile and cheery salutation had endeared him to every 
one, even to those who did not know him well. Light-hearted 
as he was, he had a serious side little appreciated because 
little seen, yet soon to be manifested gloriously to all the 
world. 

He had intended to enter Harvard in the fall. Summer 
came and went. The war was making Americans anxious, 
discontented. Student life, particularly, seemed flat and profit- 
less while men were fighting and dying. With characteristic 
impetuosity Dick suddenly decided to throw up college, to 
go abroad, to help somehow where help was so much needed. 
He was only eighteen. Fearing he might be considered too 
young, he secretly got passage for England, where he landed 
in September. There he immediately joined the Wynne- 
Bevan Ambulance Corps and was soon on his vi^ay to Italy. 
The Wynne-Bevan Ambulance Corps was a private organ- 
ization at that time stationed on the Venetian Plain to carry 
Italian wounded. There was work, hard work, to be done, with 
winter coming on, with the Italians disheartened by the re- 
treat into which they had been betrayed, with the Austro- 
German army on the offensive. Ambulance headquarters 

C 35 3 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

were about ten miles from the little town of Mestre. On those 
muddy, narrow roads, with their steep, dangerous gutters, 
Dick drove four months. It was a three-fold struggle against 
the weather, disease, and the enemy. 

All went well until January, 1918. Then hostile planes 
began a series of raids on Italian towns behind the lines. 
Treviso, Venice, and Padua suffered some destruction. On 
January 26, Dick was at a dressing station, having just 
delivered a load of wounded. News came that Mestre was 
being bombarded. Fairfield and a companion jumped on a 
motorcycle and went ahead into Mestre to see if an ambu- 
lance would be needed. As they stopped in the market-place, 
deserted by the frightened population, a bomb fell on a house 
nearby, instantly killing them both. 

They were buried with all civil and military honours in the 
little cemetery outside of Mestre, where Americans, English, 
and Italians gathered to pay tribute to the first Americans 
killed in Italy. The Mayor pronounced a eulogy. Messages 
of praise and of condolence were sent by many distinguished 
persons to the American Consul at Venice. The last honour, 
official recognition of his bravery, came on February 9, 
when the Italian military authorities awarded to Richard 
Fairfield the Medaglia al Valore Militare, to be sent to his 
family. Yet higher praise there cannot be than the simple 
message announcing his death : "Killed in the execution of 
his duty." 

Let us not grieve for the unfulfilled future of the youngest 
graduate the School has lost. Can we believe that weapons 
forged by the hand of man have power to hurt the soul? No ; 
Dick has earned through service promotion to another world 
whither in God's good time we too shall go.

CALDWELL COLT ROBINSON 

Qui ante diem p.eriit 
Sed miles, sed pro fiatria. 

THE "ante diem" of Newbolt's lines inevitably comes 
to mind as one thinks of the death of a man who was 
characterized by abounding youthful fire and generosity. At 
St. George's, Robinson was a young boy during his stay 
and impressed all his associates even then with his brilliant 
mind and exuberant spirits. It is therefore doubly pathetic 
to think of the fine young life given when it was already 
blossoming into a noble ardour and self-sacrifice in away that 
endeared him to all his comrades and followers. Those who 
knew him best in time of peace easily understand why his 
eagerness to serve others brought him where danger was 
greatest. 

His war record was a consistent progress, which began 
with attendance at two Plattsburg Camps in the summer 
of 1916. There he was in turn First Sergeant and Lieuten- 
ant, ending his training as Battalion Adjutant. After the 
United States declared war, he accepted appointment July 
21, 1917, as provisional Second Lieutenant with rank from 
July 5, 1917. His appointment was made permanent on the 
twenty-seventh of the following month. On October 27, 
1917, he went overseas, and was on detached duty with the 
U. S. Army in France from that date. He took part in the 
actions of the Marines which brought them such fame in the 
Verdun Sector, and was killed in action on June 6, 1918, in 
the Bois de Belleau, while attached to Company I of the 
6th Regiment, U. S. Marines. His grave is in the National 
Cemetery, Belleau Wood. 

In his death he showed the quahties which had made him 
so beloved wherever he went. On perceiving that his com- 

c 37 : 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

pany was suffering from the fire from a machine gun nest, 
Lieutenant Robinson attempted to capture the nest himself. 
For this noble but fatal effort he won the posthumous award 
of the Distinguished Service Cross on July 5, How highly 
Lieutenant Robinson merited the award may be seen from 
the words appended to the remarks of General Pershing in 
awarding this high honour: "Killed in action at Chateau- 
Thierry, June 6th, 1918, he gave the supreme proof of that 
extraordinary heroism which will serve as an example to 
hitherto untried troops." No less impressive are the words 
of one of his men : "He sure deserved his cross and more 
too. He didn't win it by telling us what to do, but by show- 
ing us how to do it." His final gallant action came after he 
had experience of several wounds, and had been gassed 
more than once. With full knowledge of all that war can 
offer in the way of hardship and danger. Lieutenant Rob- 
inson showed by his high conception of duty in the face of 
the enemy that the descendant of an officer who helped our 
country gain independence was eager and able to defend it 
with self-forgetful gallantry.

WELLS BRADLEY CUMINGS 

THE early days of 1918 were probably the most excit- 
ing, the most heavily fraught with interest, hopes, and 
fears that man has as yet known. The allied armies were 
waiting to receive the onslaught of the German troops, and 
the two questions in the minds of every one were — could 
the allied troops hold and were the American troops ready. 
We at school were finishing a busy and successful year. The 
School was imbued with a desire of service. The Sixth Form 
had completed a year of service to the School and of prep- 
aration for themselves, and was ready to a boy to go out to 
play their part. 

On Prize Day, 1918, while the exercises were being held 
in Auchincloss Gymnasium, word came of the death of 
Lieutenant Robinson. The big German offensive was at its 
height. The American troops were just beginning to make 
their presence felt, and among them were some one hundred 
and fifty St. George's boys. Every one felt that, before the 
opening of another school year, new losses would come to us, 
and that our own roll of honour would be lengthened — per- 
haps to a great extent. 

Almost at once the loss came, and the next St. George's 
boy to give his life in the great offensive of 19 18 was a mem- 
ber of the class which, only a few days before, had grad- 
uated from school. 

Wells Bradley Cumings, born July 11, 1899, in Brook- 
line, Massachusetts, was the second son of John Bradley and 
Florence (Thayer) Cumings. He entered St. George's in 
September, 1911, and, with the exception of a year, was a 
member of the School until 1917. During that time he be- 
came a prominent and influential boy, endearing himself to 
everyone, boys and masters alike, by the strength and sweet- 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

ness of his character, and by his deep affection and loyalty 
to his friends. His fineness of temperament revealed itself in 
a passionate love of music, for which he showed an appre- 
ciation extraordinary in one so young. He was a brilliant 
athlete, winning his S. G. in both football and baseball. 

At the end of his Fifth Form year Wells left school and, 
by tutoring, entered Princeton with the class of 1921. For 
a boy of high spirits, eager to do his part in the war, col- 
lege and university life was irksome, so in February, 1918, 
he left Princeton and, together with several friends, enlisted 
in the United States Marine Corps. A short period of hard 
training at Paris Island followed, and in April the regiment 
of which he was a member, the 6th Marines, sailed for 
France. 

The American Expeditionary Forces were at that time 
gathering. Everything was in confusion, and the men who 
arrived early in France were forced to endure hardships and 
privations which later were avoided when the machinery 
began to move more smoothly. One can feel only increased 
sorrow when one thinks of a young boy, not yet nineteen 
years old, leaving his country for the first time, being abso- 
lutely cut off from all his friends, to be hurled into the mael- 
strom of the war. Everything seems to have conspired to 
make Wells' life in France harder, for after he said good-by 
to his mother in Washington he received only one word 
from home and never received any pay or any of the money 
which was sent him. Nothing is more pathetic than the let- 
ters which came back from him, filled with cheerful cour- 
age, speaking calmly of the discomforts, and hoping that he 
might soon have word from home. During those lonesome 
days Wells' character showed itself in all its sweetness by 
sharing with his less fortunatecompanions the small amount 
of money that he had taken with him, for he had given away 

[40] 



/A* THE WAR 

everything when he fell. A few copper coins, a knife, and the 
memory of a life cheerfully given to his country are blessed 
proofs of a noble soul. 

A few weeks after the arrival of the regiment in France 
came the critical days for the allied forces. The American 
army was called upon to do its work of stopping the Huns' 
advance on Paris, and the Second Division was placed in 
the region of Chateau -Thierry. The "Bois de Belleau" is a 
name of glorious and tragic memory to the American people, 
for it was there that the Marines did their heroic work of 
checking the Huns and turning their advance into k retreat. 

On June 26, in the early part of a charge, Wells fell mor- 
tally wounded by a piece of bursting shrapnel. He was car- 
ried to the rear, where he received every possible attention 
in dressing station and hospital, but after four days of suffer- 
ing, borne with heroic courage, he died on June 30. A simple 
cross marks the place where he now lies beside the other 
heroes of those terrific but wonderful days. 

The life of Wells among us has left the memory of a 
noble boy doing his duty in the simple, natural ways which 
brought him to the supreme end Math true courage of mind 
and spirit, for " — in short measures life may perfect be," 
and to us who loved him this is an inspiration as well as 
the comfort in our sorrow.

TOLMAN DOUGLAS WHEELER 

" T T E was said to be the bravest man in his regiment, and 
X X I know there was none braver." So writes a soldier 
friendofTolman Wheeler, who was fatally wounded at Can- 
tigny on August 31,1918, and died six days later. The brief 
comment of a comrade tells the story of military service of 
an officer to whom gallantry in action was so natural that it 
was almost sure, in days of heavy fighting, to lead to a fatal 
end. 

Lieutenant Wheeler, born at Walton, N. Y., October 2, 
1891, was a member of St. George's in the years 1907 and 
1908. As a boy he was quiet and rather reserved, so that 
relatively few had the privilege of knowing him intimately. 
He took part in sports with zest and showed the quiet cool- 
ness w^hich characterized him later in the really stern con- 
test of battle. He entered Harvard, and was graduated as 
A.B. in 1915. 

After attending the first Plattsburg Officers' Training 
Camp in May, 1917, he was commissioned a First Lieu- 
tenant in Troop F of the Second U. S. Cavalry in Septem- 
ber, 1917. Some idea of his ability may be gained from an 
occasional sentence in letters from fellow officers. "Tolman 
joined me at Fort Ethan Allen. At first I was distant to him, 
as I don't make friends quickly and I wanted to be a good 
captain to a new lieutenant in the cavalry service. I contin- 
ually became more and more friendly. I began to understand 
him and finally we became close friends. For him I held an 
admiration for his audacity and courage and above all his 
faithfulness in carrying out any duty to the letter. I can tell 
you that at the time he was ordered away from the regiment 
the Colonel told me that he had developed into one of the 
best officers in the regiment. Coming to a cavalry outfit from

the infantry and learning to ride the drill well was a difficult 
task, but he succeeded and developed into a fine cavalry 
officer." 

Troop F went overseas in March, 1918. Lieutenant 
Wheeler took part in the varied service of the troop, becom- 
ing Battalion Adjutant in August, 1918. As he was carried 
on the rolls as attached to the regiment, he was sent as a 
replacement officer to Company H, 127th Infantry, 32nd 
Division. 

"I heard from him and his escapes and I knew he would 
either get home scot free or else be killed. I have talked with 
men of the 32nd Division. He was held in high esteem there 
for his courage and good sportsmanship. He led an assault 
at Cantigny and was wounded several times. He was picked 
up and taken to Base Hospital No. 3 in Paris, where he 
died and was buried." 

For his bravery he was cited as follows: "First Lieut 
Tolman D.Wheeler (deceased) 127th Infantry (on detached 
service from 2nd U. S. Cavalry). For gallantry in action near 
Juvigny, France, 30 August, 1918, in reconnoitering the 
battalion lines during an attack." 

To the simple record of Wheeler's service the imagination 
will readily supply the details characteristic of military life 
where supreme devotion is present. Those who knew only 
the boy will understand now more fully the quiet nature 
which developed its best qualities as the sternest challenges 
came. For the boys who see his white star in the school 
service flag the name of Tolman Wheeler will be one more 
source of pride as succeeding school generations realize their 
proud inheritance.

PHILIP NEWBOLD RHINELANDER 

With lokkes crulle as they were laid in firesse 
And of his stature he ivas of even lengthe; 
And nvonderlye delyvere and greet of strengthe ; 
And he had been somtyme in chyvachie 
In Flaundres, in Artois and Pycardie 
And born him well. 

SOMETHING of the bcautj and fair grace of Chaucer's "yo^ig 
Squier" clings to the memory of the young hero whom 
masters and graduates will recall as a high-spirited boy at 
St. George's, where his shining eyes from under curling 
locks early promised a future full of eager enthusiasm. Philip 
Newbold Rhinelander was born on August 29, 1895, the son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas N. Rhinelander. He entered St. 
George's in October, 1907, and left in his Fourth Form year. 
As a boy he was of a singularly fine and sensitive nature, so 
that he was especially missed by those who knew him well 
when his health made it desirable for him to be transferred 
to the Thacher School in California. From that school he 
entered Harvard as a member of the class of 1917. 

Very early in the war he felt the call of service and began 
to prepare himself for it. In August, 1915, he attended the 
second Plattsburg Camp. As military service was not yet 
open to Americans, he volunteered as an Ambulance Driver 
in the American Ambulance Field Service, sailing for France 
on July 1, 1916. For about six months he served in the Vos- 
ges, in France, with Ambulance Section 9. Later he joined 
Section 10, which had its headquarters southwest of Lake 
Presba, in Eastern Albania, and saw six months more of ser- 
vice. He returned to Paris in July, 1917. The following ex- 
cerpt from a letter by Lieutenant Rhinelander's father gives 
a clear picture of Newbold's military career : 

" He immediately volunteered for our air service, and be-

gan his training under French instructors at Tours, about 
August 23rd, 1917, receiving his brevet as a Pilot about 
October 31st following, and his commission as First Lieu- 
tenant in the Air Service of the American Army about a 
month later. From Tours he went to the American camp at 
Issoudun, where he had further training ; thence to a French 
camp at Etampes ; thence back to Tours, where he spent 
about three very active months in the training of artillery 
observers ; thence to Clermont-Ferrand, for special training 
in day-bombing ; thence to various camps, and after numer- 
ous delays, due to the lack of planes, etc., he was assigned 
to the 20th Aero Squadron, and sent to the front early in 
September, 1918, where the 20th Squadron, together with 
the 11th and 96th, were constituted the First Bombardment 
Group of the First American Army, and took part in the 
battle of St. Mihiel, and later in the Argonne offensive. The 
work of the First Bombardment Group in connection with 
the St. Mihiel offensive was commended in a citation, which 
included the following : 

"'l. The work of the 1st Bombardment Group during the 
battle of St. Mihiel, and in the operations after it, has been 
such as to bring out the praise and appreciation of all the 
troops and allied services participating in the operations. 
This Group, under most difficult conditions, with new equip- 
ment, and pilots and observers who had recently come up 
on the front, has shown a devotion to duty and an initiative 
which has not been exceeded by any troops on the front. 
'"2. The work of the 1st Bombardment Group has mate- 
rially aided in hindering hostile concentrations of troops, 
troop movements along roads, and in sweeping the enemy's 
pursuit aviation back, thereby making lighter the work of 
our pursuit aviation along the immediate front. 

C 45 ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

"*3. I desire that all members of the Group be informed of 
the high regard in which their work is held throughout this 
Army. 

Wm. Mitchell, 
Colonel, A. S. U. S. A. C. A. S., 1st Army:' 

"During the St. Mihiel offensive and for about a week 
thereafter, Newbold was assigned, with four other pilots 
of the squadron, to special reconnaissance duty for head- 
quarters at a camp at Maulan, to which the rest of the 
squadron, together with the two other squadrons forming 
the First Bombardment Group, were ordered just before 
the beginning of the Argonne offensive. On the first day of 
the Argonne offensive, September 26, 1918, he took part in 
his first day -bombing expedition within the German lines. 
Four groups of eight planes each, one from the 96th, one 
from the 1 1th, and two from the 20th Squadron, were ordered 
upon this bombing raid to bomb the town of Dun-sur- 
Meuse. Plans for rendezvous and mutual support appar- 
ently miscarried, probably partly owing to low hanging 
clouds when the formations left the camp in turn. They all 
accomplished their bombing mission, but did so independ- 
ently and without support or protection. Newbold's forma- 
tion was the last to leave the field, and saw nothing of the 
others. By the time it reached its objective, the German pur- 
suit planes had evidently been fully warned, and almost im- 
mediately after the bombs were dropped the formation was 
overwhelmed by attacks of German planes, which outnum- 
bered it three to one. This situation was made much more 
desperate by the fact that the observer in the leading plane 
was killed almost at the outset of the fight, and fell against 
the double control in such a way as to prevent the leading 
pilot from turning home, and to force him to continue for 

C 46 ] 



IJV THE WAR 

more than twenty miles out into German territory, where 
the greater part of the German air force at that part of the 
front seems to have been concentrated at the time. The re- 
sult was that out of the eight planes only three returned, 
and in one of the three — the leading plane — the observer 
was killed. 

"None of the survivors saw Newbold fall, but on Decem- 
ber 27 last, when I found his grave and that of his ob- 
server, at the litde village of Murville (northwest of Briey, 
and some four miles from Audun le Roman, near the Lor- 
raine border), I learned from French eye-witnesses who 
had seen the end and had buried him and his observer that 
his plane appeared over the village at about 1 1 o'clock on 
the morning of September 26, fighting alone with five Ger- 
man pursuit planes (Fokkers) at an altitude so low (the 
French people estimated it as about one-sixth of the normal 
height of American bombing planes) as to indicate that 
Newbold's plane must have been seriously disabled. The 
end, they said, came very quickly. The five German planes 
were attacking successively from below and behind (their 
favourite point of attack, where they were least exposed 
to the American guns), and finally there was an explosion 
(apparently of the main gasoline tank) of the American 
plane, which was blown to pieces, the engine and propeller 
falling at one point (I saw the clearly marked depression 
in the ground where they fell), and the rest of the plane 
some 200 or 300 yards away, and the two bodies between 
the two." 

From Captain Merian Cooper, one of Lieutenant Rhine- 
lander's fellow officers in the same squadron, a few facts 
have been learned about the fight. Captain Cooper himself 
was shot down, and was lying in a German hospital when 
a German officer brought to him Newbold's identification

Sr, GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

card, with his photograph and signature. "This German 
officer expressed surprise that Nevvbold should have been 
alone when he was killed, and said that he had died fight- 
ing bravely, against odds." 

Lieutenant Rhinelander was buried by the German 
officers who found him near his fallen plane. Memorial ser- 
vices were held in New York and Newport, which several 
of his old friends at school attended. As they heard the sim- 
ple recital of the qualities he had developed in his young 
manhood they perceived that he had early attained the praise 
due to one far older: 

He never yet no vileynye ne sayde^ 
In al his lyfe^ unto no maner -wight.

WILLIAM BOULTON DIXON 

WILLIAM BouLTON DixoN joincd the Second Officers' 
Training Camp in May, 1917, and was sent to Fort 
Oglethorpe, Georgia, on August 24. On November 27 he 
received his commission as First Lieutenant of Field Ar- 
tillery in the United States Reserve Corps, and was ordered 
to Camp Pike, Arkansas, where the 87th Division was in 
training. 

After two or three months' duty with a battery, he was 
appointed to the staff of Brigadier-General Richmond P. 
Davis of the 62nd Field Artillery Brigade and, a little later, 
was made his senior aide. 

On August 27, 1918, Lieutenant Dixon went to France 
with the 87th Division, but soon after its arrival General 
Davis and his aide were transferred to the 151st Field Ar- 
tillery Brigade of the 76th Division. 

On October 11, General Davis and part of his staff, in- 
cluding Lieutenant Dixon, who had been made assistant 
operating officer, left for the front in advance of the bri- 
gade. On the night of October 17, in the vicinity of Thiau- 
court, Lieutenant Dixon was killed by a direct hit of an 
enemy shell while on duty at the post command of a bat- 
tery of the 340th Field Artillery. He was buried in the 
United States Cemetery at Thiaucourt. 

Bo Dixon came to St. George's in the autumn of 1910 and 
graduated the following June, remaining but one year at the 
school. It is natural, therefore, that his school career did not 
stand out as clearly as that of most of his classmates who 
had been here for several years before their graduation. As 
a boy Bo was quiet and reserved, limiting his interests chiefly 
to his books, to tennis, and to baseball, in which sports he 
excelled. He was popular with his classmates and, through 

C 49 ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

his refined and gentle nature, won the affection and respect 
of his teachers. 

On leaving school Bo went to Princeton, and graduated 
in the class of 1915. While there he was a member of the 
Ivy Club. 

From July, 1915, to November, 1915, he was in the em- 
ploy of the Franklin National Bank in Philadelphia, later be- 
coming a bond salesman with Irvin & Company, Bankers. 

Remarried on March 4, 1916, Emily Markoe Thayer, 
and went to live in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. He had two 
children, a daughter, Alice Thayer, born November 19, 1916, 
and a son, Thomas Henry, II, born July 24, 1918. 

It was from such men as this that the younger officers 
of our army were largely recruited — men who were often 
too modest to thrust themselves forward, but who were 
ready at an instant's summons to respond to the call of 
duty, whether that duty was easy or hard. Little by little 
they had been storing up that moral energy and will-power 
which was to stand them in such good stead at the hour of 
supreme trial. 

Bo Dixon made a fine soldier, and in his death fulfilled 
his highest promise. Beautiful and touching are the words 
of his superior officer, written to his father shortly after he 
was killed : 

"I came here (somewhere in France) with half a dozen 
staff officers aqd we were distributed along the front at 
various places not far separated. There was considerable 
bombardment the night Bo was killed, — he, a lieutenant 
and a corporal were killed instantly by a 77 shell, the only 
one which came anywhere near his station, one other fell 
about 100 metres from a station of another of our party and 
about half an hour after I left. 

"We buried Bo just at sunset on the top of a beautiful

hill — the sun was setting and almost a full moon just up, 
an enemy airplane flew over very low and a terrific bom- 
bardment of two squadrons of planes by our anti-aircraft 
guns constituted the volley as we laid the dear fellow to 
rest. . . . He had the military instinct and the military idea 
and would have made his mark had opportunity arisen. 

"He was so keen to be at the front and only the day before 
we had gone together to the advanced line to take a look, 
and his whole soul was in the righteousness of our cause. 
Bombardment more or less was going on all the time, but it 
did not seem to us that there was much real danger ; how- 
ever, his death was not due in any way to unnecessary or 
careless exposure — it was simply one of these things which 
sometimes happen. I have lost a fine soldier, and you a fine 
son and soldier."

MARQUAND WARD 

MARquAND Ward, son of the Honourable Henry Gal- 
braith and Mabel (Marquand) Ward, was born in 
New York, December 9, 1894. He entered St. George's 
School in October, 1907, as a member of the Second Form, 
and graduated in 1912. After a year of travel and study he 
entered Princeton University, but owing to ill health was 
unable to complete his course with the class of 19 17. He was 
enlisted January 5, 19 18, trained at Camp Dix,went overseas 
with the 78th Division as a private in the 312th Infantry, 
and was killed in action at Talma Farm, October 18, 1918. 
Three lines from "The Quest of the Sangraal" by the Vicar 
of Morwenstowe well describe the spirit of such soldiers : 

High hearted men : the purpose and the theme 
Smote the Jine chord that thrills the Warrior'' s Soul 
With touch and impulse for a Deed of Fame. 

Marquand, like his brother, brought this sense of high honour 
to the school. It never failed them. To the last they made 
us proud with the brave fulfilment of their promise. Mar- 
quand's most outstanding characteristics were a beautiful 
friendliness which made him a universal favourite, and a high 
chivalrous nature which made it impossible for him to seek 
companionship through any lowering of his standards. But 
so great was his geniality, so ready his appreciation of the 
best in others, that his high ideals never repelled those of 
whom he could not approve. He made the fine way win- 
some. Through school and college religion was for him a 
valued and genuine experience which he helped others to 
understand. By inheritance of a rich nature and by intimacy 
with fine thoughts and beautiful things, the "fine chord" of 
his life made such music for all who knew him that he was

a gay companion for his contemporaries and an intelligent 
sharer of the thoughts of older men. We looked for him to 
do so much among "high hearted men," his fellows, through 
years of service, but the much was done in little time. Just 
as the work seemed only beginning. 

The strife xoas der^ the battle done^ 
The victory of life ivas xvon^ 
The song of triumph was begun. 

Alleluia ! 

The story of that victory is recorded in the official citation 
and in a personal letter from a comrade. 

"Private Marquand Ward, Co. C, 312th Infantry, before 
meeting death in action at Talma Farm the 18th October, 
1918, manifested a signal courage and fearlessness, advanc- 
ing in the face of a murderous machine gun fire, displaying 
to his comrades an example of disdain of danger and of in- 
itiative in attack, reaching and falling at the nearest point 
to the enemy attained by his company that day." Thus far 
the citation. An abstract of the letter follows. 

"Marquand was in C Company, in a platoon led by 
Lieutenant Albritton. Our battalion was ordered to cross 
the Aire River and connect between the French Division 
on our left and the remainder of our own division on our 
right. We were the extreme left flank of the First Army, 
and our regiment was at the time attacking Grand-Pre. 
There were almost three quarters of a mile between Grand- 
Pre and the French. The distance was so great that for 
three days one thin line of men was the only protection 
over that ground. The Boche knew that and continually 
swept the area with the most bitter machine gun fire. There 
was almost no protection save little holes hastily dug, and 
it was certain death to expose ourselves in daylight.

ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

"The connection between two platoons was lost at a crit- 
ical point where it was perfectly possible for a small body 
of Germans to come through and with machine guns make 
our position impossible. Albritton set out to bridge the open 
space and to place a defensive post of two or three men in 
such a position as to keep connection between the platoons. 
He did not order Mike to go with him. He knew it was a 
dangerous risk, for machine guns were even then making 
it most hazardous. He asked for two men to go with him 
and Mike went. The third was a brave little Italian named 
Napolitan, who was Mike's devoted slave. 

"They had about three hundred yards to go and had to 
skirt the nose of a little hill. Just as they came around the 
hill a machine gun opened directly on them. Albritton was 
leading with Mike about five yards behind him, and Na- 
politan the same distance behind Mike. All three fell at 
once. Mike was pierced by seven or eight bullets and must 
have died almost instantly. So intense was the fire that 
Albritton lay there where he fell for eighteen hours before 
we could get him to safety. Marquand was buried at a 
little farm about four hundred yards from where he fell, 
a beautiful little spot. It is called Talma Farm and is his- 
toric with our Division. He lies there with other heroes who 
fell in that ghastly ten days of bitter fighting. 

" Marquand was deeply respected and loved by his com- 
rades. With a better education than most of them, he was 
at once their confidant and also their friend. They felt his 
loss keenly. He died a noble death and did a noble piece of 
work, did it as though there was nothing else he could do, 
as brave and heroic a deed as I have ever seen. There's 
not much to add, for no eulogies can really do him justice 
nor take away the sorrow we feel, and yet I am sure that 
you who knew him best cannot help but feel unbounded

pride in the spirit of his sacrifice. It was not in vain. With- 
out him and others of his type the events which followed 
his death could never have happened."

ALEXANDER RODGERS, JR. 

y\LEXANDER RoDGERs, Jr., son of Coloiiel Alexander and 
jlA. Virginia (Cameron) Rodgers, and brother of James 
Donald Cameron Rodgers, 1904, was born in Washington,' 
D. C, on April 23, 1894. He came to school in the au- 
tumn of 1907 and graduated in 1911. 

In contrast with the fullness of his later years Alexander 
Rodgers' life at school was uneventful. Many of the interests 
common to most boys did not appeal to him mentally or 
physically. Football, baseball, and the like played little part 
in the routine of his days. Perhaps if he had been more 
robust these would have eHcited more attention, but, as it 
was, he devoted himself almost exclusively to study and 
reading. He was reticent and reserved, although ready in 
word. Not many boys understood him, for it was to only 
a few that his nature could reveal itself at that period. In- 
ability to throw himself into the common activities of a 
schoolboy's life tended to keep him apart and throw him 
back upon himself. It was natural enough, then, that he 
should find resource in his work and reading. In the nar- 
rower limits of school life he did not come fully to himself 
or others, but at Harvard his nature ripened, and his quick 
understanding, alertness of mind, and keen insight into 
people and things won him true and sympathetic friend- 
ships. He was a member of the Institute, the Iroquois, the 
Spec, and the Hasty Pudding Clubs. His point of view be- 
came broader, and his judgment milder. He visited school 
frequently, and was ever talking of its future. At times he 
would speak of his school days and with unerring analysis 
count their good. There are graduates whose school career 
was more spectacular and outwardly more successful, but 
no one of these has ever exceeded the loyalty and affection 

C 56 ] 



IJV THE WAR 

which Rodgers came to feel for his school. It is one of his 
triumphs that this is so. It is a manifestation of a deeper 
side that was the real self, and which was revealed for the 
last time on the field of battle. He was a soul with depths 
unknown to many, depths that ever deepened with love of 
family, friends, school, and country. 

After graduating from Harvard in 1916, he went to the 
Harvard Law School, and from there entered the Officers' 
Training Camp at Fort Meyer, Virginia, in May, 1917. He 
received his commission as Second Lieutenant in August, 
and sailed on May 17, 1918. His regiment was at first 
brigaded with the English, and Rodgers was later detached 
for training in two different schools for signal officers. In 
August he was advanced to the rank of First Lieutenant 
in the 319th Infantry, 80th Division. This division was in 
reserve at St. Mihiel, but was not in action. Rodgers took 
part in the attack on the Argonne which began on Sep- 
tember 25. During this engagement he was gassed, but 
continued with his men until they were relieved. On Octo- 
ber 1 7 he was taken to a hospital and died of pneumonia 
on October 23. He is buried in the cemetery of Brizeaux. 

The accompanying photograph is an enlargement of a 
picture taken by a French Corporal after a twenty hours 
march in the Argonne in September. To Mrs. Rodgers 
Alexander's Colonel wrote: "I must record the fact that 
a braver, more loyal, painstaking, honest, upright soldier 
and patriot than Aleck never lived." On their return to 
Camp Dix, Rodgers' men bore evidence to his constant 
care and thought, how he always considered them first, no 
matter how long or hard the day might have been. One of 
his sergeants told of Rodgers going into German territory 
under heavy fire, and said : "I wanted to go with him, but 
seems like he thought more of my life than he did of his, 

C 57 3 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

and he wouldn't let me go. We would do anything for him, 
because he did all he possibly could for us." He was given 
these two citations : 

"For exceptionally conspicuous and meritorious services 
as Regimental Signal Officer, 319th Infantry A. E. F." 
"For distinguished and exceptional gallantry at Cunel, 
France, October 4-12, 1918." 

Such, then, was the boy and the man — more loyal to 
the School than most and less loyal than none.

EDWARD BARRY WALL 

Dear soul. 
Thy life was Heaven's mirror 
Rejiecting waves of light and love to help, tcs on our way. 

BARRY Wall was born on July 28, 1893, the only child of 
Exlward Barry and Fannie (Mitchell) Wall of Colum- 
bus, Ohio. Both of his parents died before he was six months 
old, but the devotion of a grandmother and aunt, as well as 
of others of his family, created in him the spirit of love and 
service which proved to be the guiding principle of his life. 
On entering school in 1906, he immediately threw himself 
wholeheartedly into the life about him. In his quiet, self- 
effacing way he unconsciously won the admiration and affec- 
tion of all. He never made an enemy. Life to him, even in 
his earliest years, meant friendship and service. As senior 
prefect his influence was of the quiet, all-pervading kind 
that went deep into the hearts of his schoolmates, and estab- 
lished a surer foundation for those who would succeed him. 
He made no unnecessary issues, but when they came he 
met them with unswerving determination and frankness. 
He tried to foresee and prevent trouble rather than wait until 
trouble matured, and his intentions were never misunder- 
stood or misconstrued. He was the most loved and the most 
respected senior prefect that the School has ever known. 
Underlying all there was a vital, spiritual life that governed 
all his actions, and made him charitable to all. He was more 
ready to forgive than to find fault. To him this life was 
merely an incident in a larger life, and in discounting the 
dangers of flying he once wrote: "After all, it is the spirit and 
not the body that counts." On his graduation from Princeton 
in 1916, he was voted the "finest gentleman" in his class. 
After graduation from college, Wall went out to China to 

c 59 : 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

engage in a year's teaching, which was partly scholastic and 
partly missionary. In this he was unusually successful, and 
he is still spoken of by the Chinese boys who were in his 
classes. Shoemaker, 1912, who was in China doing the same 
kind of work, has said : "I always felt that Barry had a 
peculiar sympathy for those in trouble or need. Out here 
among the Chinese, who are very responsive to people who 
take time to care for them, he left that impression. To those 
who knew him here, he endeared himself in the same way 
that he did at home." There were times when he thought of 
studying for the ministry ; and upon receiving an invitation 
to become a master at school, he wrote a month before his 
death: "I wonder when the war is over whether I shall be 
considered fit for a master. I am more convinced than ever 
before of the importance of youth, and particularly of Amer- 
ican youth, and the prospect of being a master appeals to 
me very much." 

On the declaration of war, he returned to this country and 
enlisted in October, 1917. He was sent to the Aeronautical 
School at Princeton, and from there to Love Field, Texas, 
from which he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. For 
a time he was assigned to the Aviation School at Brooks 
Field, Texas, and on July 1, 1918, he was ordered to Mather 
Field in California, where he taught advanced flying, acro- 
batics, and aerial gunnery. He passed his examination for 
promotion, and was recommended for a First Lieutenant's 
commission at the time of the declaration of the armistice. 
The following letter was sent him by Lieutenant-Colonel 
D. C. Emmons the day before his death: "Because of de- 
mobilization and early withdrawal from active service, I 
desire to extend to you an expression of my appreciation of 
the service which you have rendered your government and 
this school. Your loyalty and attention to your duty as an 

: 6o ] 



IJV THE WAR 

officer of this post have been most satisfactory to me, and 
you are to be commended for your zeal in your work and 
the excellent spirit you have shown in giving your assist- 
ance to the accomplishment of the purpose for which this 
Field was established. That the exigencies of the service 
required the use of your abilities here and, in consequence, 
your desire for overseas duty was not fulfilled, should not 
be considered in any way derogatory to you as a soldier or 
to the aid which you have rendered the government. I am 
proud to have been your commanding officer." 

On December 5 Wall had just finished instructing his 
pupils when he went up for a short flight alone. Another 
instructor was flying at the time at an altitude of two thou- 
sand feet, some five hundred above Wall. In a few mo- 
ments the latter had disappeared, and, fearing an accident, 
the other instructor descended and found his friend fifteen 
feet from the broken plane. Death had been instantaneous, 
and careful investigation threw no light upon the mishap. 
In the words of one of his fellow-students at Love Field : 
"Barry Wall was the finest man in camp and the best in 
the air ; he was kept in this country because of his skill in 
flying, his ability and patience as a teacher, and his influence 
over men." He was buried with military honours in Colum- 
bus, on December 12. 

The loss of Barry Wall is a loss to the world. Latent 
powers were reaching their fulfillment. With his charm and 
his nobility of soul he seemed destined to win men to better 
ways. Many tributes have been paid his memory, but no 
words finer than those of the poem written In Memoriam by 
Lieutenant William A. Adams, Jr., for the paper printed 
at Mather Field.

GALBRAITH WARD 

GALBRAiTH Ward, SOU of the Honourable Henry Gal- 
braith and Mabel (Marquand) Ward, was born in 
New York, August 9, 1892. He entered St. George's School 
in October, 1907, as a member of the Third Form, and at 
the end of his Fifth Form year in 1910 left to complete his 
preparation for college with a tutor. The following year he 
entered Princeton University, and graduated in 1915. After 
spending a year in business in New York he joined the 
American Field Ambulance in France, and was with them 
from November 28, 1916, to June 9, 1917. Returning to 
America for military training, he was for a time at Platts- 
burg and later at Camp Upton. He went to France with 
the 77th Division in the spring of 1918, was made corporal 
in April, and later promoted sergeant in the 306th Infan- 
try, Company M. After hard service in the Argonne and 
great exposure, he fell a victim to pneumonia and died at 
Chateau villain, December 17, 1918. 

Galbraith came to St. George's bearing the best Ameri- 
can tradition and inheritance, intellectual, aesthetic, moral, 
together with that strong but unobtrusive religious sense 
which gives those great, but still secondary, aspects of 
character their permanence and value. Though never tak- 
ing high rank as a scholar, he brought to all his work a 
seriousness of purpose and a chivalric sense of obligation 
which made all that he learned count for life. In the de- 
partment of English, however, he displayed unusual appre- 
ciation and that industry which comes from genuine in- 
terest. He read the best books and wrote constantly for the 
Dragon, his work showing invention, a feeling for style, 
and the nice choice of words of a literary artist, gifts which 
he further developed in his university course at Princeton. 

c 65 : 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

While still in the Fifth Form he was awarded the Logan 
prize for English, a prize given not only for excellence in 
composition but even more for mature, intelligent apprecia- 
tion of literature. Quiet and reserved in manner, he yet won 
the friendship of many and the respect of all, and by his 
high example contributed greatly to strengthening all that 
is best in the school type then in its formative stage. The 
School owes him that unmeasured debt which is due to char- 
acter alone. 

When his career was interrupted by the World War, 
his sense of duty and service led him to volunteer for work 
abroad in the ambulance corps. When the shadow of war 
became a reality for his own country, he returned to enter 
the army. Training for a time at Plattsburg, he became con- 
vinced that his best work would not be done as an officer, 
which conviction he stoutly maintained to the end, though 
it was not shared by his superiors in the training camp or 
in active service. They knew the value of his quality in an 
officer. But he followed his own vision, and would have been 
more than content to remain a private instead of being pro- 
moted corporal and sergeant. 

How well he fulfilled his duty can best be told in the 
words of Major Freeman, who was his company com- 
mander at Camp Upton, on the British front, and in the 
Lorraine sector. 

"When I became battalion commander," he writes, "Gal- 
braith was chief of the battalion intelligence and scouting 
organization, which position he held on the Vesle and the 
Aisne and all through the Argonne fight, and the fight to 
the Meuse. Admired and respected by men and officers 
alike, he was quiet, modest, and unassuming; capable and 
trustworthy; and utterly fearless. Fear was not a part of 
him, even when death in battle seemed very, very near. 

C 66 ] 



IJV THE WAR 

"He gave the best that was in him; he gave more, 
because the terrific strain of the Argonne had completely 
undermined his health and still he kept on until our work 
was done, when the doctor ordered him to the hospital 
where he died. 

"He was fine and clean, and I'm sorry, very sorry, that 
he has gone. What can we say about those who have died 
that peace and liberty might live ? The story of their sac- 
rifice is far too sacred for me to touch upon ; even though 
I 've seen many make the most supreme. But in all cases 
they leave their message: 'This thing must not happen 
again.' And so we took up their quarrel, and now — we have 
not broken faith with those who died — and that thing 
shall not happen again." 

An instance of his courage is recorded in General Orders 
No. 24 : 

"Sergeant Galbraith Ward, Company M (deceased). 
While leading a detachment through a heavily wooded 
swamp between Theorgnes and Harricourt, this soldier 
showed an utter disregard for his own safety in directing 
and helping the men under him to find shelter and then 
walked 100 yards through shell fire to the rescue of a soldier 
of the 304th Regiment who had been severely wounded, 
bringing him to a place of safety." 

To this may be added the tribute paid to Galbraith and 
his brother Marquand by a St. George's master : 

"The lesson of the lives of these two boys will surely not 
go unheeded. Their willing sacrifice will stand forth as an 
inspiring example of patriotic devotion to duty so long as 
St. George's school shall last. They were gentle and loved 
the ways of peace. They were not physically very strong. 
But because they loved righteousness and all that makes 
life sweet and hated wrong, they revolted against the mon- 

[ 67 :

strous acts and teachings of the Germans and gladly gave 
their lives for the cause in which they so passionately be- 
lieved. If we are now to enjoy the fruits of victory, if the 
conditions for making the world a happier place for all to 
live in are at hand, we owe it to these our boys who have 
fought the good fight and in death have won all. Their mon- 
ument is eternal. It remains for us to prove our right to the 
sacrifice."

NORMAN JESSE MERRILL 

NORMAN Merrill was born in Somerville, Massachu- 
setts, on November 23, 1890. He was graduated from 
the Somerville High School in 1908 and from the Berkeley 
Preparatory in 1910. He then entered Colby College and be- 
came a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. His inter- 
ests were many and varied. As an aid to the financial side of 
his college course, he was manager of two dining clubs con- 
nected with the college. The Colby Oracle said of him : 

"Those who have the most to do can always find the time 
to do the most. No other man in college ever had so many 
things to do all at the same time." He was president of the 
Massachusetts Club and a member of the executive coun- 
cil of the N. E. L A. A. For three years he alternated at half- 
back and quarter-back on the varsity eleven and was one 
of the best defensive players that ever represented the col- 
lege. In addition to his football interests he added track and 
basketball, and was manager of the former for two years. 
His life was always very full. He overflowed with enthusi- 
asm and energy and was held in great esteem by his class- 
mates. He was on the most friendly terms with the presi- 
dent, to whom his sincerity made a strong appeal, and this 
friendship was continued after his graduation in 1914. In 
the autumn of that year he came to school as Master in Sci- 
ence and coach of the football and basketball teams. Poor 
material for an eleven faced him in his first year, but his 
ability as a coach was proved in the following autumn when 
he developed a winning team. In the winters he organized 
basketball more highly than ever before, and through his 
unusual capacity for organization more boys took part in 
that game than at any time in the history of the school. Scho- 
lastically, he taught mathematics and chemistry. 

L 69 ] 



ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL 

Then came October, 1917. The writer recalls very viv- 
idly the mental struggle that had faced Mr. Merrill in the 
spring after the outbreak of w^ar. Patriotism and loyalty to 
the School at a difficult time found him trying to determine 
whether he should go to an Officers' Training Camp in the 
summer, or wait until Washington should call him. Devo- 
tion to his work at school and the belief that at that time 
the call to arms for teachers was not vitally imperative led 
him to put aside the chance for military advancement, and 
so he returned to serve at school until the time when his 
country should judge that he was needed. This decision was 
very characteristic. He never thought of himself; he was 
willing to go when it seemed necessary ; but he was willing 
to sacrifice himself for the good of the School. In the two 
years that he was here, he gave of himself freely. As a coach 
he was successful because of his knowledge of the games 
and also because of his enthusiasm and patience. The boys 
responded to him readily, and sought him not only as a coach 
but as a friend. Lights in his room frequently meant that 
boys were there to ask his advice. He was untiring in every- 
thing he attempted, and was respected for his kindliness and 
sincerity. He placed friendship on a very high plane. He left 
behind him an ideal for devotion and loyalty, and a greater 
understanding of what true friendship may mean. 

The details of his military career are published in another 
part of this book. It is interesting to read in the official state- 
ment that a breakdown came as a result of overwork. Those 
who know of his untiring efforts here at school will real- 
ize that he had taken away with him the same qualities of 
giving that had characterized his work at St. George's. He 
wrote frankly of his keen disappointment when the medi- 
cal examination just before sailing found him unfit for for- 
eign duty. He refused a discharge, and continued in the ser-

vice as an instructor in the S. A. T. C. at the University of 
Michigan. He was finally forced to enter the hospital at Fort 
Wayne in January, 1919, and died there of acute nephritis 
on February 7. The funeral was held in his own home in 
Somerville, and he was buried with military honours.

morale was exemplary. This order will be read to all organizations 
of this division at the first assembly aiter its receipt. (Signed) Frank
